I'm in the opposite position as you, my Esprit is paid off and the boxter has another year of payments. The boxster was paid off, but I bought the Esprit cash so I borowed a little against the Boxster.

The Esprit handles better than the boxster and is of course faster, but if you're planning to purchase one, you should be handy woth the wrench. Otherwise this car will be quite expensive to run. Bur working on it yourself is quite rewarding, after all you're basically working on a race car :)

Mine is actually Red, I'll post pics this weeked of the boxster and the Esprit.

BTW, how does one attach an image to their member info (like the rest of you)?

I have only just got my Boxster, a 2.5 R reg, Arctic silver, red leather with the sports pack. Compared to other cars I have owned it's pretty slow but it does look good and hopefully won't depreciate like a stone. My last two cars were a Nissan 300zx twin turbo, very very fast and a Fiat Coupe 20V turbo with a £5,000 lightened and balanced engine. I raced a 2001 911 carrera and there was nothing in it. As I have only just brought it im not sure which I prefer yet, i'll let you know. :)

PW: That FIAT has some classic lines too... 'Like it.

My current company car will be replaced in about a month with a Magnum RT...yes, it will have a Hemi!!

Subaru Forester XT Luxury
 

Just rediscovered this thread.

Update from me, I sold the VW Passat and replaced it with a Subuary Forester XT Luxury.

Wife loves the higher driving position and SUV like appearance. My condition for buying it was that we get the XT version with 169 kw/230 bhp turbo engine.

It's quicker off the lights than my 98 Boxster (0-60mph in 6 seconds man, 7.2 in the auto), and very comfortable, but doesn't come close to the Box around any corner or the brakes. In fact, when we first got it I thought there was something wrong with the brakes. We are spoilt by Porsche and their penchant for big disks and calipers. Subaru should offer the STI brake package for the Forester.

2005 Nissan Armada, 2007 Nissan Maxima 3.5 SE, and 2003 Honda Accord v6 Coupe (Undercover Car)!!

All Porsche stable here...

My winter ride...

i had one, but decided that ill daily drive the box so i sold it :)

my 01 civic coupe is being sold on craigslist as we speak :)

My stuff's in my signature. :)

There must have been another thread like this a while back but my other car is a truck...



04' Land Rover Discovery, last of the really capable right out of the box, mechanical CDL trucks available from Land Rover here in the US before going the high tech, high price point direction with the LR3 and Range Rover Sport. A little rough around the edges but I love it for the mundane daily driving along with the little dirty work when I want to have some fun off the pavement.

Lots of twisty roads here so the Boxster is driven regularly. Great fun on Sunday following some bikes around some twisty roads - I kept my distance so good fun was had by all. Bug smiles from/to everyone when we hit town.

I just enjoyed my Boxster so much, a great driving car!

Will add another car to the collection when my daughter moves out!

Here's my other weekend car :eek: ...j/k

My other car
 

Meet SunsetOrange :)

2006 Chevy Equinox, which is actually a decent little ride (surprisingly). I love it, because it is a company car and that allows me to have the Boxster! You can't beat (almost) free gas, mileage, and maintenance! Allows me to take road trips without worrying about gas and putting miles on my car.

In my profile

I was watching a video the other day where some hairy guy with a bullhorn was calling SUV drivers "climate criminals!"

I also understand these nut cakes are pasting Global Warming :D stickers on Hummers, SUVs etc.

Just a word to the wise.

I think your Hummer looks cool!

The Rodeo gets driven the most, the bicycles get about 7k miles a year between 'em, and everything else gets driven in my spare time.

My other car is not a car, but a Ducati:

My other car is a 2001 Black Toyota Highlander Limited.

My 3.
 

They are all driven as much as possible. The MG was bought 20 years ago and my Dad and I restored it and modified it for saftey and fun. It only goes about 80 but it gets there faster than any non v-8 MG i have ever seen. Dad drove it daily for 17 years, it was his only car besides his wifes Camery. I took it over a few years ago after he decided he needed a Miata. By the way does anyone know what MG stands for it means........Miatas Grandfater!!!

The BMW X5 is a great vehicle I highly reccomend one, when it is all said and done the Boxster is my favorite it is very comfortable and a blast to drive.

My daily ride is an '01 KLR 650, with a fresh Krylon paint job. When it's raining, I take my other car, a '93 Nissan Sentra. I bought it from a guy I used to work with for $800 figuring I would wax it and resell it for $1500+. Turns out it's not a bad comutemobile, so I kept it. Never thought I would own anything with an automatic that couldn't tow a trailer, but here it is:

http://foo21.no-ip.info/boxster/sentra_1.jpg

Notice that unlike the late '90s boxster, the early 90s Nissan had clear turn signals! Wow! :eek:

Don't let my wife see that. She rents one of those evil beasts up the barn in Woodside and swears she'll own one again some day.

They're low on HP but have a lot of torque and the AWD is sorted out pretty well. They do tend to 'leak' in the garage a lot.

Here is the DD for me! I can take it anywhere:

My other car is a 2006 Corvette Z06
